This section contains information about configuring the server and installing the
operating system.
I Make sure that the power saving functions are disabled in the Power
menu of the BIOS Setup during operation.

the onboard SATA controller either before or during installation with the
ServerView Installation Manager. Using the ServerView Installation Manager is
recommended.
I The controller has its own configuration utility. For further information,
refer to the “Embedded MegaRAID Software User’s Guide” (on the
PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers -
Expansion Cards - Storage Adapters - LSI RAID / SCSI Controllers).
I Descriptions of operating systems not covered in the controller manual
are provided in the corresponding readme files on the driver CDs.
